Pediatric Hemangiomas in the Female Genital Tract: A Literature Review.
Review in Diseases (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHemangiomas are aberrant proliferations of blood vessels and the most frequent benign pediatric soft tissue tumors. Although they are common, genital localization is rare. This study aimed to assist doctors in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of pediatric vulvovaginal hemangiomas by conducting a review of the literature.
methodsWe conducted a literature review including papers published between August 2009 and May 2023.
resultsWhile most hemangiomas are usually indolent and resolve with time, in some cases, especially cervicovaginal and uterine ones, they might present with severe symptoms like heavy bleeding and need further instrumental investigation for diagnosis, like CT or MRI. As for the treatment, many options are available, with medical therapy or expectant management being the first choice.
conclusionsVulvovaginal pediatric hemangiomas are rare and require more research on how to detect and manage these lesions, especially the symptomatic and the psychologically impacting ones. For the time being, treatment should be personalized based on the patient's situation and clinician's expertise.
